The Iowa Board of Regents will ask the governor and lawmakers for an additional 20 million dollars state funding during the next legislative session and also plan to make annual increases in tuition at the three state schools. Board president Michael Richards told the board they have to start taking an overall view of the four areas that are used to fund the three state universities.

Richards says the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa are doing their part in making the best use of their resources.

Richards says they will also have to ask students to pay more.

Richards says the money they are asking for from the state is a fair amount.
